Strangely, this year was very different for him. For the first time in his professional life, he is falling short of his expectations, the community expectations, and the team’s expectations.

A tale of two basketball coaches… If you're looking for a way to improve greatly and win many basketball games then Daniel is the coach for you. Daniel is a very hard coach but he is just trying to push everyone to do there best.

The topic we interviewed is something I was comfortable with because I have coached basketball the past six years. I felt like I

In their effort to compete with other programs, coaches push the boundaries of recruiting. This is a huge problem in college sports that desperately needs fixing. For this problem, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has set strictly enforced rules for behavior like this. It is a very complex

Players and Coaches According to ESPN, 61 percent of boys and 34 percent of girls say that sports are a big part of who they are. Additionally, there are over 21 million kids between the ages of 6 and 17 that play sports (Kelley).

James walks towards the local Hanna High School to see football practice in effect, run by Coaches Jones and Honeycutt, and looks intrigued.
